Elan is working like a steamroller, beta 4 out now.

* FIX: “Pulsing” icons problem. Also fixes poor performance in library mode, and crashes when removing items from library or renaming them.
* FIX: Extremely ill-advised change to fix the “simultaneous SSA subtitles problem“. I’m relying on bmfrosty, God Emperor of Subtitles, to tell me if it works and if I broke anything else in the process.
* FIX: Logs are now saved in ~/Library/Logs, where they belong.
* FIX: VobSub subtitles seem to show up now (this bug).
* NEW: Rudd’s latest SSA patch for extracting embedded fonts. bmfrosty can play around and see if it helps things.
* Updates to latest ffmpeg and linuxport code. This includes a few months of ffmpeg development, so quite a bit of things might be working better now. Let me know if you see any regressions.

Its a replacement for Front Row. More flexible with better decoders. Skinnable too.
